When she finally manages to contact her birth mother, Ellen (Orla Brady), she learns that she has no wish to have any contact. But Rose proves tenacious, and Ellen is forced to reveal a secret she has kept for over 20 years. The shocking revelation forces Rose to enter a dark and painful world with a mother and father who are irrevocably bound together by an act of violence. Written and Directed by Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor (Helen, Mister John, Further Beyond) Rose Plays Julie is an expertly crafted, eery and suspenseful thriller. The powerful  lead performances dovetail with stark cinematography and an imposing score to deliver a chilling meditation on identity.
